1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up 2 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: straight Fire? Family's need Jason McIntyre, This is straight fire 3 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: for Tuesday, December seven, And uh, I'm laughing because you know, 4 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: you wake up this morning and you recall what you 5 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: saw last night on Monday Night football Bills ten, Patriots 6 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: fourteen in a game that I don't know, I thought 7 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: setback football at least a decade. If this was a 8 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: movie you went to see at the theater, you would 9 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: have definitely walked out early. That game was atrocious, unwatchable, 10 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: and I was gonna come on here and absolutely kill 11 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, just destroy them. From McDermott to Dable, 12 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it was an embarrassment. Um. The full of 13 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: Bills look completely fraudulent. When you know what's coming and 14 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: you can't stop it, you are clearly outclassed. And the 15 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills knew exactly what the game plan was gonna be. 16 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna run the football. I don't think anybody thought 17 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: that Mac Jones would throw three passes in the total game. 18 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: That's it, three, two or three for nineteen yards. According 19 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 1: to the stats, the Patriots are the first team since 20 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: nineteen four to win a game with three or fewer 21 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: pass attempts in a game. Okay, three pass atimpts. So 22 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: the Bills knew exactly what was coming, and Belichick just 23 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: ran the ball down their throat in an embarrassing manner. 24 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: Like the worst part is like three weeks ago, the 25 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: Bills play the Colts and the Colts run all over them. 26 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor trucking left and right, Quentin Nelson pancaking dudes, 27 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: and you get run over. You're like, oh, okay, guess 28 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: what that that game plan to stop the run doesn't work. 29 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to change things up. And then you 30 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: get this win thirty on our winds and um the 31 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 1: snow and the rain and the sleet and everything, and 32 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: like you know, it's like the videos before the game. 33 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: We're all just showing the goalpost swaying and there's no 34 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: way there's gonna be a pass. And yet still the 35 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: Bills defense comes out with a four man front and 36 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: the three linebackers and the Patriots preceed to run for 37 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: two and two are like, what are you doing? I mean, 38 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: this is just such a bad loss for the Bills. 39 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: It's so funny. Last year Buffalo win the division, Josh 40 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: Allen's and m VP candidate, and it's, oh, my goodness, 41 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: the Bills are back. They've taken over the division. Brady's gone, 42 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: the Jet stink, the Dolphins we don't know about to 43 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's wow, the Bills have something. 44 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: They're back to the Jim Kelly, Thurman, Thomas Andre Read days. 45 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: And now the Bills are seven and five and kind 46 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: of fighting for their playoff lives. I mean, I don't 47 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: know how you explain this loss. Nothing that I've read 48 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: yet from McDermott and Dable makes any sense at all. 49 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: My little angrier, because I had the Bills minus two 50 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: and a half. Sure now as game time approached, I 51 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: unloaded on the under because it was very clear from 52 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: the videos where people could not kick a thirty five 53 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: yard field goal that there was not gonna be points 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: in this um. So I actually end in the night 55 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: find it stinks that I lost it in the contest. 56 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: But Buffalo now has to go to Tampa this week. 57 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: They are underdogs. I think that's a Tampa smash spot. 58 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: But you do know the trend teams that did not 59 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: cover verse, teams that did a few weeks ago it 60 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: was hitting at and then it cooled off for two weeks. 61 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: It was four and one this past week. So in 62 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: that sense, hey, you maybe have to take Buffalo on 63 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: the road. There's gonna be no inclement weather. Josh Allen's 64 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: arm will be fine. I just I can't buy this 65 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo team as a legit contender in the a f C. 66 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: Just continues to be an absolute poop show. But they 67 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: get the Patriots again, they'll have another crack. Although the 68 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: Patriots are coming off a boy they have Patriots have 69 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: a by now, and this is just staggering. This is 70 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: where the portion of the podcast where I'm gonna say 71 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: really really nice, glowing things about Bill Belichick. Um so 72 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: you might want to just like fast forward if you 73 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: hate Belichick and all things New England. So, as you 74 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: guys know, I was born in New York and I 75 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: stick it out and like all the New York teams, right, 76 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: the New York Jets, the New York Yankees, which is 77 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: an easy like because they spent a ton of money 78 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: in baseball, and I like the Knicks a lot, and 79 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: they've been complete garbage for the better part of this century. 80 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: And that's not an exaggeration. To Commando. Anthony trade was 81 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: a flop. Post Patrick Ewing, They've done absolutely nothing. And 82 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: now you know, there was a glimmer last year, but 83 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: I picked against him in the first round of the playoffs. 84 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: I knew they were going to lose that. And this year, 85 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, with Thiboeau, they've they've slacked back a little bit, 86 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: and you know they until they get Zion in a 87 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: couple of years. I'm not believing in the Knicks. So 88 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: as a New York fan, I do not like any 89 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: Boston sports I personally, you know, no, no disrespect to 90 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: the city of Boston. I've been there a couple of times, 91 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: nothing great. I didn't really enjoy it. I personally don't 92 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: like the weather there. I just never liked the scene, 93 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: and I definitely don't like the teams. I have much 94 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: disdain for the Boston Red Sox um and I've you know, 95 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm not a hockey guy, but I absolutely, with every 96 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: fiber of my being disliked the Patriots and I respected 97 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I think I've told the story a couple 98 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: of times. I used to work um at this magazine. 99 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: I was in newspapers, and you know, newspapers paid nothing 100 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: and then I meet this girl who would end up 101 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: being my wife, and I'm like, I can't stay at newspapers. 102 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: Come on, I'm making it. So I moved to magazines 103 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: and I end up at US Weekly, and I was 104 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the lucky guy on staff who got to go to 105 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: all like the great parties. Hey, Victoria's Secret party, Jason? 106 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: Could you of course? You know maxim party of the 107 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl j Z, no doubt. And there was a 108 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: Victorious secret party in New York City one night, and 109 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: they're like, Tom Brady is gonna be there. You know, 110 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: he wanted super Bowl with the Patriots. This is way 111 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: way early, like two thousand four five, can you go 112 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: interview him? And I just rolled. I mean again, Tom 113 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: Brady was there with like two of his buddies, rolled 114 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: right up to him. Day Tom, what's up, Jason? You 115 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: got a quick second? Can I ask you some questions? Yeah? Sure, 116 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: I mean it was just casual. Nobody nobody knew any 117 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: I mean, he was not a huge deal, and Brady 118 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: was the nicest guy, just answered questions, you know, laughed whatever. 119 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: And then of course, like a Victoria's Secret model comes over. Tom. Hey, 120 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: you know that was it? You know he just turned 121 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: and turned away from me, like I got the memo 122 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: on that one. So I was respected Brady like I 123 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: was never a fan. I couldn't root for him, but 124 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy is great. Every everything, everything he's 125 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: done has been awesome. He's a winner, best quarterback in 126 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: the in the history of the league. You know, Tom Brady, 127 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: come on, all time great. So I respect it, but 128 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: I I just I'm not a fan of the Patriots. 129 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Um In a similar vein it's funny coming up as 130 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,119 Speaker 1: like a young journalist, A couple of guys had told me, Jason, 131 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: do you know about this guy, Bill Simmons, the Sports 132 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: Guy column? It's so good, you gotta read this? And 133 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: I read when I was like, I don't, I don't 134 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: see it. I don't I'm not nothing special, and oh 135 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: this guy is so good. So and I just never 136 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: read him, and I didn't really understand what the whole 137 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: hubbub was. But of course as his star grows, I 138 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: respect Bill Simmons, like I know, got to know him 139 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: through a friend, met him a couple of times. A 140 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: nice guy. You know, Cowhard knows him, says he's a 141 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: nice guy. And the little I know of him, nice guy, 142 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: so I respect him. I just never really liked his stuff. 143 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: I never read it or listened to his podcast or anything. 144 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: But because Brady left, it was so much easier to 145 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: hate the Patriots, right, Brady leaves for Tampa, and it's 146 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: like Brady got out of town. Gronk said, I'd rather retire, 147 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: didn't play for Belichick. Gronk then comes back to Tampa, 148 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: they win a Super Bowl. You know, Brady wins the 149 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: breakup and it's like Belichick his toast, he's now seventy. 150 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: The Cam Newton thing was a failure. They got nothing. 151 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: Oh it's over for Belichick. Oh I had a good run. 152 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah it's over. And they start the season one and 153 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: three with the rookie Mac Jones and YadA, YadA, YadA. 154 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: Now they're knighted four and they had an the bye 155 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: week in the first place in the a f C. 156 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: Just I just want you guys to think for a second, 157 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: who's on top in the NFL? This is crazy. Fox 158 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 159 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot 160 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app. Search f 161 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: s R to listen live. The best team in the 162 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: NFL right now, I think most people would agree, and 163 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: I think the sports books, uh in Vegas would agree. 164 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they're defending Super Bowl champs, haven't 165 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: even been fully healthy yet with Antonio Brown not back, 166 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: defense so banged up in the secondary, they're dropping like 167 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: flies every week. Tampa is probably the best team in 168 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. And I know there's nobody on planet Earth 169 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: who said before the season that the New England Patriots 170 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: would probably be second. But I think you gotta say 171 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: after the Patriots, it's got to be. I mean, after 172 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers has to be the Patriots. Right So, now 173 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: you've got a league where Brady and Belichick dominate the 174 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: league for close to two decades. They break up. One 175 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl, and the next year Belichick is 176 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: in first place in the a f C. This is 177 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: historic stuff, Like you can't make up this storyline. It 178 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: is unfathomable that Brady wins it one year and now 179 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: Belichick is on track maybe to win it the next year. 180 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: They've now won seven in a row, and for Bill 181 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: to win this game with Matt Jones throwing three freaking passes, 182 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: it's unbelieved. I I'm almost at a loss for words 183 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: that Buffalo can drop this game, and not only do 184 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like an idiot for thinking, Oh, Buffalo, 185 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: bill folks. Buffalo came into the season with the second 186 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: best Super Bowl odds in the league after the Chiefs. 187 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: Now things happened. I get it, the Bucks were up there, 188 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: but it was supposed to be Buffalo in Kansas City 189 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: in the a f C. And the New England Patriots 190 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: are right there. They there. I mean, I don't know 191 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: how they're doing it. I mean, if you look at 192 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: the depth chart, like who is leading the team and 193 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: receiving can you do you even know? Like if I 194 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: were to ask you who is leading the New England 195 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: Patriots in receiving yards, you probably wouldn't know who's leading 196 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: them in receiving touchdowns? Who's leading in rushing yards? Is 197 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: it even Damian Harris? Like they are just the perfect 198 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: quintessential Belichick team, right, It's Matt Jones, his passes as 199 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: a rookie, doesn't make a ton of mistakes, just gets 200 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: the job done. And on the ground, it's you know, 201 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: a little Damian Harris, It's Romandre Stevenson, the rookie who 202 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: fumbled in the opener, got benched for three games because 203 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: you know that's what Belichick does. And now Stevenson is 204 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: back hitting hard and then receiving. It's a bunch of 205 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: guys like Jacoby Myers leads them in receptions, Kendrick Bourne 206 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: leads them in yards, Hunter Henry leads him in touchdowns. 207 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: Like this is one of incredible patchwork jobs that I've 208 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: seen in recent memory. This just doesn't really happen in 209 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: the league. You know, Sanfa just go went to the 210 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl a couple of years ago with incredible defense 211 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan's offense. The Falcons went to the Super 212 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 1: Bowl a few years ago with Matt Ryan was the 213 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: m v P. There's no m v P on this 214 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: Patriot team, Like they're Matt Jones is not sniffing the 215 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: m v P. Not with sixteen touchdown passes at this stage. 216 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just I don't really know how to 217 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: explain what they're doing other than Bill Belichick is the goat. 218 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: But you already knew that, right Belichick utterly dominant, Brady 219 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: unbelievably dominant. Like you know, we say that you can't 220 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: write the story of the NBA without mentioning Michael Jordan's 221 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. I think you could argue Lebron, 222 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: Kobe Steph probably Shock, and that's in like the last 223 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: twenty Well, now I guess you have to go that'd 224 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: be the last forty years. In the NBA, you've got 225 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: like six guys who really have defined the league, maybe seven. 226 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: In the NFL, two guys from the same team have 227 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: really owned the league for two decades. They set up 228 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: the NFL so that this kind of thing does not happen. Belichick, 229 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: if there's any coaching sports who I would pay to 230 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: shadow for like a month before the season in the season, 231 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: probably the first month of the season actually would be 232 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: the most valuable because that's when he famously tinkers with 233 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: his team, tries out guys in certain spots, figures out 234 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: what works. And remember they lost the opener in Miami 235 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: in a game where they're running back fumbles. I think 236 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: Harris fumbled inside the ten with like three minutes left. 237 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: That's the only reason the Dolphins won that. Then they 238 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: killed the Jets and Zack Wilson. They lose to Jamis 239 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: Winston and the Saints at home in a game where 240 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: if you can get them from that Jones playing from behind. 241 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: That's when the Patriots become susceptible because Matt Jones can 242 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: game manage the hell out of a game for you. 243 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: But is he coming back from two touchdowns to beat you. 244 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: Probably not. And that was a scenario. He made a 245 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: lot of mistakes that he was bad. And then they 246 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: had to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Brady 247 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: revenge game. Belichick cooks up an incredible scheme and they 248 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: lose a close one. Then they bounced back with the 249 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: win over the Texans in a game mac Jones had 250 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: to win. But again, it's like the Texans, who are 251 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: essentially an expansion team, and I mean they look as 252 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,359 Speaker 1: um in every facet of the word against the Colts. 253 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: But the turnaround really began after the Cowboys loss pretty demoralizing. 254 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: They losion over time, um really really good game. They 255 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: haven't lost since so as a reminder, the last two 256 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: losses since September were two Tom Brady in the Bucks 257 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: and Dak and the Cowboys. And since then all they've 258 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: done is win. Now, I've tried to poke holes in 259 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 1: this and said, oh, we're quarterbacks. Have they beaten oh, 260 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: they beat Zack Wilson twice, and um, this guy named 261 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: Davis Mills for the Texans, and they did. They beat 262 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: Herbert in a good game, but you know, Herbert's a 263 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: young guy in Belichick usually owns young quarterbacks. And then 264 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: they smoked Baker Mayfield, which was a little bit of 265 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: a wake up called no surprise that they beat Sam 266 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: donald uh and the Panthers on the road. The win 267 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: over the Falcons on Thursday night football was pretty amazing 268 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: given it was beat down on a short week, because 269 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: quarterbacks on a short week are terrible. I mean, Mac 270 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: Jones was serviceable, but he didn't win that game for them. 271 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: The defense did. And then they smothered the Titans, but 272 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: they gave up two under George Rushing and you're like, oh, 273 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: the Bills probably should be able to exploit things on 274 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: the ground. And then that leads us to Brian Table. 275 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: And if you remember last year, he was so good 276 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator that everybody thought he was gonna 277 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: get a head coaching job. Will he get the Chargers? 278 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: Was he gonna Was he gonna get one of those openings? 279 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: Like some people were pumping up the enemy from the 280 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs and I kept saying, I don't know, man, look 281 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: at the look at the leap Josh Allen made after 282 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: his first couple of years. He became an m VP 283 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: candidate last year and Brian Dable was the primary reason. 284 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: Their offense is unbelievable. And I know Dabele has had 285 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: some personal off the field stuff this year. Uh. You 286 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,239 Speaker 1: guys can read about a couple of family uh passings 287 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: that are you know, back to back. It's kind of sad, 288 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: um And I I don't know, you know, if his 289 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: head has wasn't in the right place, that's understandable that 290 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: stuff happens, um, But I don't know what on earth 291 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: has happened to him this season on the field because 292 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: the coaching just isn't there. And I don't care how 293 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: many jobs open up. Uh, it's still early in the process. Obviously, 294 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: the Raider's job will be open. We suspect the Bears job, 295 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: the Vikings job may come open. UM possible the Giants, 296 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: but we'll see what happens if the if the roof 297 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: caves don on the Bengals, maybe zach Zack Taylor gets canned, 298 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: But by and large, I don't think there's gonna be 299 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: a ton of jobs open. I'm not seeing Brian Dable 300 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: getting a job. I mean, the Buffalo Bills have regressed 301 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: this year. I think everybody would agree with that. And 302 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: this game was case in point, like just mismanaged city 303 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,119 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. And I'm sorry, guys, I'm embarrassed 304 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: that I took the Bills, gave them out as a 305 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: confident play. And um, I'm done betting against Belichick. Last 306 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: week it was Jay, why why are you trying to 307 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: go against Aaron Rodgers. You've got like twelve games on 308 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: the board and you could go anywhere you want, and 309 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: that's one of your five in the contest. You're gonna 310 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: go against Aaron Rodgers. And then this week's same people 311 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: start out too and oh great, and then yeah, going 312 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: against Belichick, Like it's just not smart, and um, I 313 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: don't know, it's just gambling on the NFL is so frustrating. 314 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes just an idiotic pick by me. Um given out 315 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I do really like the card for 316 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: Week fourteen. Stop me if you've heard that before. Fox 317 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk a lot up 318 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: in the nation.

By the way, 321 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going to dive into this just I was 322 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: just reading about it because you just don't expect to 323 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: see this. But it sounds like Jake from the forward 324 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: Georgia quarterback may start for the New York Giants this 325 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: week in l A against the Chargers. It's gonna be 326 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: a tough tick. Not it's not gonna be a tough 327 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: ticket Giants Chargers um. But also it sounds like Keenan 328 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: Allen has entered the COVID protocol. Now maybe he's as 329 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: tough as t J. Watt and he's able to bounce 330 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: back and dominate. No Keenan Allen that I don't care 331 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: if Jake from starting. Jake from State Farm ten and 332 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: a half is way too high for the Chargers in 333 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: that game. But anyways, just two other quick notes in 334 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 1: the sports world from Monday. Miami Hurricanes with a pretty 335 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: disastrous coaching search, but it ended on a good note 336 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: for them. All weekend. All you hear is they're waiting 337 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: to get word that Mario crystal Ball is taking the job. 338 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: As soon as he takes it, they'll fire many das 339 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: and then they'll higher the A D. And it's like, 340 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: for like forty eight hours, many Diaz is twisting in 341 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: the wind, like you just gotta ignore the rumors. I'm 342 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna go out on the recruiting trail and then Monday 343 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: they fire the guy, you know, and then then they 344 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: make the announcement Mario Crystal Balls coming in and um, 345 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: you know the new A D s coming in. It's 346 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: like really that public of a coaching search. And when 347 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: you read some of the articles, it's like, wait a minute, 348 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: this is really how it went down. They had so 349 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: many cooks in the kitchen for this higher and now 350 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: you know what the scene is going to be on 351 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: the Miami sideline. That's one of those all time where 352 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: it's like every game you've got like seventy five dudes 353 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: on the sideline, former players coming back to relish the 354 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: glory and be the big man on campus. Um, and 355 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: and the sidelines are a mess and like that can 356 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: work and look good for a minute. And I'm sure 357 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: crystal Ball is gonna be fine in the A C. 358 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: See the division. He's not in the Clemson Division, so 359 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be okay. Um, But it's just 360 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: I just don't know long term if you can win there. Obviously, 361 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: there's some potential for krystal Ball to do really well 362 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: pretty quickly because he's a very good recruiter. Is a 363 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: big loss for Oregon obviously, and the back twelve, and 364 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: it lends more credence to something I heard. And again 365 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: this is you know, just stuff floating out there, floats 366 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: Sam and Jet Sam as they say, Um, is there 367 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: a chance that USC tries USC football, specifically tries to 368 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: pull a Notre Dame and go independent and then USC 369 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: football being such a massive draft here Lincoln Riley gets 370 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: him back to the Promised Land, and they set up 371 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: their schedule where they have as independent game against Notre 372 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: Dame and they clean up on the TV rights and 373 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: they've got a yearly game against uh, you know you 374 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: you see like games obviously a big one, um, but 375 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: they I have like, they play a tough schedule with 376 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: big names, and USC probably doesn't have the quite the 377 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: cache nationally of Notre Dame, but they certainly are the 378 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: biggest game on the West Coast. And with Oregon losing 379 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: Crystal Ball, I don't know who's their big rival. Now. 380 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: You see l A still a little down. I know 381 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: they smacked him around recently, but listen, it's only a 382 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: matter of time before Riley cleans up and recruiting, and 383 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, I know the guy in Utah winning him 384 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: is it is a great coach. But in short order, 385 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, USC is going to have all 386 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: the five star guys because you know what a hotbed 387 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: it is for talent in l A on the football's field. 388 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: And you could just see USC becoming a huge deal 389 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: here in like short order. But um, I don't know 390 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: where Oregon goes. I floated Joe Brady online and all 391 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: these oh my goodness, they hated Oregon fans, like, what 392 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: did he do? He just got fired Joe Brady. Come on, okay, 393 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: how quickly we forget Joe Brady was not at l 394 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: s U for burrows first year, when he had Jamaar Chase, 395 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: when he had Justin Jefferson. Then they hired Brady and 396 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: L s U basically becomes the greatest offense in college 397 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: football history. That's not hyperbole. Look up the numbers. Burrow 398 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: had the greatest year any quarterback has ever had in 399 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: college football. They roll to the national title, and you know, 400 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: I I Joe Burrow could It was like the fifth 401 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: quarterback in the Ohio State Film room his first year 402 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: at LSU. He's ordinary guy, maybe a seventh round pick. Instantly, 403 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow with Joe Brady turns into a superstar. And 404 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: now Joe Burrow looks like a really really good young 405 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. And I don't know, I think Joe Brady 406 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: gets definitely a look somewhere. Um college check coaching job, 407 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: I would have suspect. So I'm assuming some really sharp 408 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: minds are gonna be trying to make him an offensive coordinator. 409 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: But um, yeah, packed world just got really interesting with 410 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: Crystal Ball leaving. It's U c l A's world. We 411 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: just I'm sorry, it's USC's world. We're just living in it. Um, 412 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: so that's about it. I can't believe I ranted that 413 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: long about the Patriots. They make me sad, honestly, folks. Um, 414 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: you guys have a good day. We got a big 415 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: guest coming up tomorrow. We'll talk to you then.
